At last, the sequel to the front-page winning SRM Transformers is here!

I've been working on it on and off for a month straight - whether I was just drawing out character designs or doing the laborious transforming animation for BRAWL (over 3 hours to do one second of animation)

I took a bunch of viewer suggestions from the first one in - subs are in and SOUNDWAVE is no longer purple (he was in the comics, eh)

Regardless, it's finally completed. It's about as long as the last one, and the credits at the end are a little different (should stay consistent, like a TV show) but they're worth watching too!

Anyway, hope you guys like it - I know how much everyone loved the first one!
And leave a review - I respond to all of em!

Great joke!

Wow, we're really getting cracking here with some quality animation and some really funny material - the writer's strike gag really got me going, plus the fourth wall gag with SRM Prime was pretty good, since this is the first transformation that you've done. You made it look professional and not one of these cut-corner jobs, where you start with shape 1 and make it into shape 2, despite neither one looking anything alike.

Bringing in additional characters has helped you and even though the Dinobot was there and it was more of a wild animal than a plot device, particularly as it was munching on Brawl's turret. Euphimism?

Keep coming up with these funny pieces and you'll get those awards that you so richly deserve!

Transformations were the #1 complaint in reviews for the first toon, and I didn't want to half ass them. I think it took me something like 7 hours to actually make Brawl transform back and forth. It was more or less my first experiment with frame by frame animation, and a lot to think about as a relative newbie. I didn't want to just use a shape tween, since those are always awful.

Transformers randomly brings in new characters all the time, so I figured I would do the same, even if they don't get any character development.
